Eine Inhaltsangabe möge hier folgen mit allen Fehlern, die in der nächsten Stunde korrigiert werden: On their way to the Heavenly City Jerusalem Christian and his friend Hopeful come to a castle, called Doubting Castle. The Giant Despair lives in it. One morning the Giant finds the two friends sleeping in his grounds. He awakes [wakes (awakes is intransitive)1)] them and puts them into a dark and stinking room of his castle, for having trodden [trespassed upon] upon his grounds. Here they remain from Wednesday till Saturday without anything to eat or water to drink. The Giant doesn't know what to do with his two prisoners. So he asks his wife Diffidence. She orders him to beat the two pilgrims. On Sunday morning the Giant beats them in such a manner that they cannot help themselves [do anything for themselves] when he has gone away. The next night Diffidence, who wants the pilgrims being dead [wants the pilgrims to be killed, (or) desires the death of the pilgrims.], wants her husband to counsel [advise] them to murder themselves [commit suicide]. The other [next] day the Giant does so. He cannot [could not] murder the friends himself, because he fell into [one of] his fits. On fine sun-shine [sunny] days he couldn't make use of his hands. Now Christian and Hopeful doesn't [do not] agree with him. When the Giant finds them still alive the next day he becomes furious, 1) Die Worte in Klammern sind die Korrekturen. so that Christian wants to kill himself. Hopeful prevents it by a second great speech by which he remembers [reminds] Christian of the many dangers they have already gone through safely. Hearing that the friends are still [(or) hearing of the friends being still...] alive, Diffidence counsels her husband to show them in his castle-yard the bones and skulls of the other pilgrims which [whom] the Giant had murdered before their confinement. The next morning the Giant shows the two prisoners the bones and skulls of death [the dead] pilgrims. But then he puts them into their cellar again. In the night Christian finds the key Promise in his bosom by [(all right) by means of which] which they escape the other [next] morning. And as the Giant fell into one of his fits, he cannot [could not] pursue his prisoners. The two friends erect [(all right) or put up] a notice, which tells other people not to go into the [Giant's] yard of the Giant. Then they go singing in the direction of the Heavenly City.
